5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
5.1. LA25-000024, BOYER BUILDING CORP O/B/O JOHN & SUZANNE BOHN, 1440 BALDUR
PARK ROAD, VARIANCES AND CPU.
The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and
approve variances for lot area, lot width, hardcover, and setback variances, and a Conditional Use Permit
to construct a new dwelling. The proposal moves the structure back further from the lake and reduces the
hardcover. The proposed home would be smaller than the square footage allowed but larger than the
existing house. The neighbors are in support.
The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Joe Franson
of Boyer Building Corp., Minnetonka.
Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 6:05 p.m.
There were no public comments.
Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 6:05 p.m.
Commissioners pointed out the proposed house would be larger in square footage than the existing house,
but not exceed what could be allowed, and would improve other conditions, such as lake setback and
hardcover. It was noted that the house could be made smaller and not need variances, and still be larger
than the existing house.
Ressler moved, Brandabur seconded, to approve LA25-000024, 1440 Baldur Park Road, Variances
and CPU as applied. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 1 (Weltzin).

The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and
approve a variance to construct a second -story addition within the dimensions of the existing house.
The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Warren
Garrett, 650 Brown Road North.
Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 6:26 p.m.
There were no public comments.
Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 6:26 p.m.
Commissioners were in favor of the variance as the average lakeshore setback is for sightlines, and a
modest second story does not affect any other home's view.
Weltzin moved, Prchal seconded, to approve LA25-000031, 650 Brown Road N, Variance as
applied. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0.
5.3 LA25-000032, BRAD JANS O/B/O GOOD SHEPARD CHURCH, 3745 SHORELINE DR,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and
approve a conditional use permit to add two additional accessory buildings. One building had been
approved a few years ago, but never built. The two buildings proposed now would roughly total the area
of the garage that was not built. The applicant has been in touch with the Watershed District.
The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Brad Jans,
3745 Shoreline Dr., who said one shed would be for church storage and the other would be for day care
storage.
Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 6:35 p.m.
There were no public comments.
Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 6:35 p.m.
Commissioners supported the plan, saying an application was previously approved and expired, and is
now proposed in a new way.

Minutes
Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Monday, August 18, 2025, 6:00 PM
City Council Chambers 2780 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356
The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and
approve a variance for an average lakeshore setback for an addition to an existing building. The addition
would encroach a small amount into the average lakeshore setback but would stay within the 75-foot
setback. The adjacent property owner and the neighborhood architectural committee support the request.
The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Jerry
Gray,880 Partenwood Rd. He explained they would like to add a main floor bedroom to continue to live
there and have tried hard to keep the requested exceptions minimal.
Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 6:45 p.m.
There were no public comments.
Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 6:45 p.m.
Commissioners pointed out that the house is on a peninsula and the proposed addition won't impact a
neighbor. Moving the utilities will be an improvement, and the neighbors have sent a letter of support. It
seemed to be a reasonable way to help the homeowners stay in their homes.
Teft moved, Ressler seconded, to approve LA25-000035, 880 Partenwood Rd, Variance as applied.
VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0.
5.5 LA25-000036, Brian Roath, 1200 Wildhurst Trail, After -the -Fact Variances and Conditional
Use Permit
The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and
consider the request for an after -the -fact setback variance for a patio and a Conditional Use Permit for a
retaining wall. Staff recommends denial of the setback variance and approval of the Conditional Use
Permit for the retaining walls with conditions for screening and wall modification to meet the setbacks.
The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Brian Roath,
1200 Wildhurst Trail, who explained they made improvements in 2021 but did not realize permits were
needed. The patio improves their enjoyment of the lake property. When the home was built in the 1970s,
the building plan was altered in such a way that the patio, deck, and stairs went into the side yard setback.
They are willing to move the deck steps and remove the parts of the patio that encroach, but would like to
retain a small amount to make a good transition. He had letters from engineers, arborists, and landscapers.
He said the retaining wall was planned as a shared wall between neighbors.
RECESS & RECONVENE
Chair Bollis recessed the meeting at 7:29 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 7:34 p.m.
Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m.
Sandy Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, the neighboring property since 1991, gave a history of
improvements to the lot, including changes to property lines. She said the original owners added an
asphalt walkway, fire pit, seeding, screen porch, and deck. The next owners added riprap to the shoreline,

and the current owners, the Roaths, who purchased in 2015, added a 10 X 12 shed and the patio
extension, and the retaining wall. The homes are close, and water from the neighbor's roof through a
gutter system causes erosion on their property. The Rasmussens have paid for a survey to be done. Set-
back intrusions have been compounded by the retaining wall as well as erosion. The Rasmussens are
concerned about the height of the wall and the danger of falls. They have been told the trees in the
retaining wall will die in the next five years, and are concerned they are in danger of coming down in a
storm because the root systems are gone. They are asking for the setback to be returned and making the
retaining wall safe.
Brian Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, said there was no erosion before the neighboring lot was cleared.
Jay Nygard, 1386 Rest Point Rd, asked about the engineering study and the height of the previous
retaining wall. He said Roath, as park commission chair, should have known better than to commit such
an egregious violation to his yard and the neighbor's yard. He advocated for returning the slope to the
way it was.
Brian Turbeville, 997 Wildhurst Trail, said he believes there was confusion, and this situation started
innocently. It may not have been intentional, but it is not OK to let it be remediated in a non -conforming
way. The retaining wall was not needed for the trees.
Barbara Schmidt, 50 Landmark Drive, said it's unbelievable that the Park Commission chair for over five
years doesn't know to get a permit, and that people should not be allowed to do these things and get an
after -the -fact permit. If that is allowed, it will be repeated all over the lake. She said the lot needs to be
restored.
Dave Velander, 5655 Alexander Drive, said the situation is ridiculous and the City needs to play by the
rules.
Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 8:08 p.m.
Planning Commissioners had more questions for the applicant, who contended that a portion of the
encroaching patio and the stair landing, and the stairs were already present when they bought the house in
2015. Commissioners suggested it was necessary to look at the application as two parts — the patio and the
retaining wall. Building so close to the property line will inevitably cause issues with run-off and
trespassing. Existing conditions are that approvals were given to allow the house partially in the setback,
and if all parties are willing to work together, perhaps a solution can be found, and this would be a good
time to fix erosion and run-off issues, they said. They were concerned about the larger patio and would
support just enough to have a safe landing area and to get over to the rest of the former patio.
Commissioners supported tabling the application so the applicant can work with staff on the patio issue.
Regarding the retaining wall, they questioned, with input from professionals, if it could be changed to not
encroach on the neighbor's property or the setback, and not exceed height limits. They were not in favor
of the proposed remedy for the wall.

Subject: #LA25-000038, Grizzly Construction o/b/o James Morrison, 1384 Baldur Park Road
Variances
Public Hearing
Application Summary:
The applicant is requesting the following approvals to redevelop the property with a new home:
1. Lot area variance;
2. Lot width variance;
3. 75-foot lake setback variance;
4. Hardcover variance to exceed 25% overall; and
5. Hardcover variance within 75 feet of the OHWL.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
Background
The subject property is located on the Baldur Park peninsula. Although the
property only abuts the lake on the north side, 75-foot lake setback restrictions
impact both sides of the property. The applicant has requested several land
use approvals to construct a new home.
The new home is proposed to improve the setback from the northern lakeshore
and will slightly increase the hardcover level. The proposal improves the lake
setback on the south by 13 feet by removing an existing 737 square foot
detached garage (42 feet from the OHWL) and adding the new attached garage
(55 feet from the OHWL). Within the combined northern and southern 75-foot
lake setback areas, a 1,247 square foot hardcover reduction is proposed. The
proposed plan increases the overall hardcover by 0.1% (from 3,909 square feet
to 3,910 square feet).
The driveway is located within the southern 75-foot OHWL setback. The
existing driveway approach (curb cut) is nonconforming at approximately 50
feet wide, where 20 feet is permitted. The proposed 12-foot-wide driveway
improves the nonconformity and provides a conforming 5-foot setback from
the side lot line.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has not clearly identified
practical difficulties supporting the requested variances. They have responded
to the practical difficulty criteria and a short narrative attached as Exhibit C,
and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff
finds that there are practical difficulties in the substandard lot size supporting
the redevelopment of the property. The applicant has not identified practical
difficulties that support the requested variances. However, the requested
variances appear to be reasonable and are supported by practical difficulties.

Applicable Regulations:
Lot Area and Lot Width Variances (Chapter 6.12 Section 1550)
Zoning Code Section 6.12.320 provides options for the redevelopment of lots that do not meet the minimum area or
width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard properties within the Shoreland Overlay District
may be redeveloped without variances from lot size and width requirements if the following standards are met:
1. All setback requirements can be met. A setback variance is requested; this criterion cannot be met.
2. The lot is connected to a public sewer, and
3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage restrictions of this chapter,
and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed 25 percent of the entire lot area. Hardcover
variances are requested; this criterion cannot be met.
4. All other zoning district standards can be met.
The applicant's request for hardcover and setback variances results in the property's inability to conform to all of the
standards above. Therefore, lot area and lot width variances are also required to redevelop the property. The ability to
develop the property in a manner consistent with other developed properties in the neighborhood would be limited if
the lot width and lot area variances are not granted.
75-foot Lake Setback Variances (Chapter 6.12 Section 6240)
The applicant's plan reflects building and driveway encroachments in the 75-foot lake setback area.
Hardcover Variances (Chapter 6.12 Sections 9110 & 9210)
With redevelopment, the applicant proposes to increase the total site hardcover amount by 0.1% (from 32.5% to
32.6%). A hardcover reduction of 1,247 square feet is proposed within the 75-foot setback areas.
Governing Regulation:
Variance (Section 6.12.530)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon
the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of
fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission
shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where
their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property
under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping
with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical
difficulties. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar
energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd.
14, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit, as a variance, any use that is not
permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The board or council
may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The proposed lot area and
width variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its
small size and narrow width, and is encumbered by lakeshore setbacks on two sides, making development
difficult.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances proposed to rebuild a new home on
this nonconforming lot are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties.
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the
official controls; The request to allow construction of anew residence on the substandard lot is
reasonable. The proposed hardcover will increase by 0.1% over the existing condition; however, the
proposal includes a significant reduction within the lake yard areas.
11
FILE # LA25-000038
15 September 2025
Page 4 of 5
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The substandard lot
size is an existing condition, and there is no available land with which to make the property more
conforming. The restricted roadway, lot size and shape, and configuration with the lake on two
sides are challenges not created by the owners. There should be consideration for variances for the
substandard -sized property. The project has been designed with an effort toward limiting the
additional hardcover without sacrificing functionality; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances are requested to
permit the construction of a new home on the residential property, which is reasonable.
Additionally, City Code Section 6.12.530 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as
follows:
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been
a factor in the variance approval determination.
5. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy
systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd.
17, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 6.12. This condition is not applicable.
6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code
Chapter 6.12 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not
applicable, as a single-family residence is an allowed use in the LR-1C District.
7. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family
dwelling. This condition is not applicable.
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or
immediately adjoining property. The property's substandard size, location, and unique configuration with
lakeshore on two sides create significant difficulties that also apply to many of the properties in the same
neighborhood. The proposed setbacks and hardcover level are not out of character.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located.
Other properties in the neighborhood are similarly impacted by the peninsula configuration and small lot
sizes.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right
of the applicant. The proposed size of the home conforms to 20% structural coverage limitations. Granting
of the lot area and width, setback, and hardcover variances are necessary for the preservation of the
property rights of the owners.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any
other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting the variances for lot size, hardcover, and
setbacks in this situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to
alleviate demonstrable difficulty. Without variances, the property is unbuildable. The variances for lot size,
setback, and hardcover are necessary and do not merely serve as a convenience to the owners.
The Commission may recommend, or the Council may impose conditions in granting variances. Any conditions
imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No
variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is
located.
Public Comments
No comments from the public have been received as of the drafting of this report.
Analysis
The applicant's plan appears to be consistent with the immediate neighborhood, and although it reflects a minimal
(0.1%) increase in hardcover overall, it provides a significant hardcover reduction within 75 feet of the lake. Issues for
`V,
FILE # LA25-000038

Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable
manner that is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential character
of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by the
granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends approval as applied. Before consideration by the City Council, the applicant should revise
the hardcover calculation worksheets to correctly identify the proposed hardcover within both 75-foot setback areas
and provide an updated survey to reflect the southern 75-foot setback line and the proposed grading plan.
Planning Commission Action Requested
Planning Commission should make a motion to approve the application with the following conditions:
1. Revise the hardcover calculation worksheets.
2. Provide an updated survey to show the southern 75-foot setback line and proposed grading.

Proposed removal of existing structures and construction of a new home on 1384 Boulder Park
Road.
This house is currently 10 feet behind the lake side sight line of the adjacent houses but 10' into
the lake 75' OWH. The existing Detached garage is encroaching into the front 30-foot set back
from Baldur Park Rd. significantly in front of the adjacent homes.
The house to the west is almost entirely within the 75' OWH of the lake.
Per recommendations from the initial planning meeting, we have proposed moving the House
toward Baldur Park Road and to position within the front, rear and side setbacks.
The new plan changes the site from a nonconforming separate house with a detached Garage to
a Compliant and esthetically appealing improvement to the site.
